My brother, his wife, her brother, and his wife came down to hang out for the weekend. After they arrived on Friday evening, we headed down to the waterfront to have dinner. There was a wait for dinner at Fishy Fishy so while we waited we went and had a drink at the Mullet. Braving the brief rain shower at…
For my birthday, Scott bought me a new kayak. He did some research on it and found out it was supposed to be super stable and very comfortable. After getting it, he decided he would like to try it (midlife crisis?!) after adamantly saying no for years. We took the kayak along with one of our old ones to the…
This year the 4th fell on a Tuesday which meant I had to work Monday and Wednesday (boo). Because I of this, for the first time since we’ve been in the house we didn’t have any visitors for the holiday this year. Oak island had their beach day activities and fireworks on Saturday. Southport had their Firefighters competition also. We…
We took off to the mountains for the week to spend time with some friends at Eileen’s Cabansion. Dina and Mike met us up there and eventually, their daughter Danielle and her kids did too. Scott was also able to get in a visit with his parents. We had terrible weather almost the whole week we were there. I think…
For my birthday, we went to dinner at the Mexican restaurant with some friends. It was a pretty low key birthday. When I got to work in the morning I was quite surprised to find my “parking spot” was decorated for me. My sweet friend Chelsea decorated it the night before. Thursday Scott and I took a stroll around town.…
I had a weekend full of fun activities. It all started Friday at work. We held a baby shower for one of our coworkers. We did our best to make the lounge baby shower ready and it was sweet to meet his family. Friday evening, I went to a new place on Oak Island with some friends for trivia night.…
Our friends Amanda and Stacy came to visit us! They delayed their trip by a day due to some rainy weather. Although there was zero sunshine the entire weekend, we had a great visit. They arrived on Sunday afternoon and we headed down to American Fish to enjoy the view and a few drinks. It was cool and cloudy but…
On Sunday Scott and I went over to Oak Island to climb to the top of the lighthouse. We learned a lot about the lighthouse and then made our way to the top. The coloring for the lighthouse is actually in the concrete, therefore it never has to be painted. The route to the top is via ships ladders. It…
This weekend Scott, me, Liz, and Daniel set off for Western North Carolina/Northern Georgia to visit my friend Eileen and to hike to several waterfalls. Our adventure started as soon as we left town. We had Liz’s son Bryson with us until we got to Gastonia where we dropped him off with his grandparents for the weekend. We decided to…
This week for Nurse’s week, we planned several different themed days for our Surgical Services nurses. We wanted to something a little different than the things we do all the time. Monday we had a smoothie bar. We brought in frozen fruit, yogurt, milk, honey, spinach, juice, peanut butter, and blenders for everyone to build their own smoothies. We also…
